The C11 Annex K functions, strcpy_s et al., have a better API than even strlcpy, and are (an optional) part of the C11 standard. They are what you should be using.

Nope. I'm the implementor of this variant, and even the safe variant was designed as unsafe.

In my implementation, the safeclib, I made it safe just recently.
